What about locking your phone via Auto-Lock?

Restrictions. Go to Settings / General / Restrictions. In Privacy section, go to Location Services and select "Don't Allow Changes". Make sure the Location Services toggle is on (green) before you say don't allow changes. This should keep him from turning it off.

Auto lock is the time your backlight stays lit before your phone goes to sleep.

Ok, but you need a passcode to unlock the phone, right?

You do if you have a passcode enabled. That's done in Settings > Touch ID and Passcode.

Yep! I've had mine enabled for a long time!

I never used a passcode until I got touch ID. I had one, but kept it off.

You're the parent...if he turns it after you've told him not to, he shouldn't have a phone.
